Site conditions have a great influence on the efficiency of a solar or wind power plant. Successful project developers prefer to know their site factors precisely in order to avoid risks and to be able to calculate accurately. In a market environment characterized by increasingly fierce competition, it is the “knowing rather than guessing” factor that makes the difference, starting with site conditions: the solar and wind resources on site, and their distribution over the course of the year as well as over longer periods of time, are the “fuel” of a renewable power plant. We analyze these resources based on satellite data, supported by precise on-site measurement campaigns and analysis, to provide maximum accuracy for our clients’ projects. Our expert appraisals are demonstrably recognized by all international and multilateral banks. We also measure other factors such as dust fouling, corrosion or humidity, which have a major impact on power plant technology and operating costs. Our national and international clients can thus significantly reduce the risk associated with their projects, achieve higher project values in negotiations with investors, and obtain better financing terms from lenders. In the context of highly competitive tariff auctions, such projects achieve greater costing accuracy.  

As an independent consultant for renewables-based power plants, we provide our clients with a broad knowledge of technological solutions. With our planning models, we calculate the optimized design of renewables-based power plants tailored to our clients’ requirements. Our team combines leading technological knowledge with profound financing experience. The optimization of our clients’ power plants is our top priority, always taking into account all influencing factors that play a role in renewables: Existing site conditions and resources, potential technologies, and our clients’ financing strategy and conditions. In this way, our power plant designs are optimized in terms of financial ratios such as return on equity, payback period or energy costs. We use a proprietary process of iteration between our engineering models and a financial model whose assumptions are based on our clients’ financing strategy. 

Project development aims to bring the project to a stage where it is ready for financing and construction (bankability). This is usually the riskiest phase in the life cycle of a project. During this phase, we provide comprehensive technical and financial advice and support. Since our founding in 2009, we have successfully assisted numerous projects in achieving bankability. Our typical services: We provide the technically and economically optimized power plant design, assist in the selection of suppliers, ensure effective project management and support in contract negotiations with project partners, investors and banks. We make our expertise available to our clients in a flexible manner, complementing capacities and resources already in place. We come in where our clients have scarce resources – be it in engineering, structuring or arranging equity or debt capital.
